the story was initially pushed by warren kinsella, who is a wild card, and is now being pushed by penny collenette, who is not.

when kinsella & collennette are both out to get you, you've got some problems with the big wigs in the liberal party of canada. and, that's bad news for justin trudeau.

the good news for justin trudeau is that if this is the best they've got...

...but, the good news for the country is that this is some evidence that the left side of the liberal party is beginning to revolt against trudeau, who campaigned on a return to historical canadianism and traditional liberal party values but has instead governed like an american democrat - which is on the very far right of the canadian political spectrum, often times appearing indistinguishable from the conservative party, and at times even worse.

i suspect that the issue that's getting in their craw is nafta. trudeau seems to be fully pro-nafta. the liberal party higher-ups were always deeply skeptical of nafta, always felt forced to co-operate against their will by mulroney, always wanted a bilateral agreement with the states, and i suspect they don't like how he's handling this. trudeau also appears to have a kind of anti-russian streak that the party has historically seen as anathema. there is simply no pro-war wing in the liberal party of canada.

i've been calling for the party to push back for a while. while i don't suspect they're actually listening, there may be a confluence of opinon developing.

you can like justin trudeau if you want, but you have to understand that he's in the wrong party, in canada - he's a conservative, in canada. go blow your mind out in the car, but it's true. & this might be the first rumblings that the party may have had enough of it...
